Definitions

  • the invention relates to an airbag module according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Driver airbag modules which are located in the hub area of a steering wheel usually comprise a housing, an airbag package being at least partially located in said housing, a cover and an inflator.
  • the cover most often has a roof and a cover sidewall extending from the roof. A central part of the roof spans over a deployment opening of the housing.
  • the cover sidewall is attached to the housing, namely to the housing sidewall, with the cover sidewall extending essentially parallel to the housing sidewall.
  • a so-called floating module in which the whole module can be pressed down against a main body of the steering wheel in order to activate the horn
  • the cover is rigidly attached to the housing, meaning that the cover sidewall is rigidly attached to the housing sidewall.
  • the cover is not rigidly attached to the housing such that the cover sidewall is in sliding connection to the housing sidewall.
  • the housing is rigidly attached to the steering wheel body such that the cover can be pressed down in order to activate the horn without moving the housing relative to the steering wheel body.
  • the invention relates to both cases.
  • attachment hooks extend from the housing sidewall and the cover sidewall shows respective windows through which the attachments hooks extend.
  • the cover sidewall In order to provide the needed stiffness to the cover sidewall without substantially increasing the weight of the cover, it is known in the prior art to provide the cover sidewall with a plurality of ribs such that the cover sidewall comprises a cover sidewall main portion having an inner surface and an outer surface and ribs protruding from the outer surface of the cover sidewall main portion.
  • the ribs usually extend in an axial direction from a roof proximate end to a floor-side end.
  • At least an upper part of a section of the cover sidewall is visible from the inside of the passenger compartment. If it is necessary for technical reasons to provide this section of the cover sidewall with ribs this may lead to an unfavourable optical appearance.
  • the plurality of ribs comprises a first kind of ribs having a roof proximal section protruding from the inner surface of the cover sidewall main portion and a roof distal section protruding from the outer surface of the cover sidewall main portion.
  • first kind of ribs or ribs of a first kind change their position relative to the main portion of cover sidewall main portion.
  • the cover sidewall main portion of the section of the cover sidewall which shows the ribs of the first kind also has a roof proximal part and roof distal part. These two parts are not aligned: The roof proximal part is outward relative to the roof distal part. By this measure the total thickness of the cover sidewall is not increased.
  • the total thickness of the cover sidewall section comprising the first kind of ribs is constant along the entire height of the ribs of the first kind (from their roof-side end to their roof-remote end).
  • the cover sidewall additionally comprises a second kind of ribs extending completely from the outer surface of the sidewall main portion.
  • FIGS 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the invention in different schematic representations.
  • the airbag module 5 which is usually a driver airbag module, is comprised of a housing 10, an inflator 25, a cover 30 and an airbag package 20.
  • the housing 10 has a housing floor 11 and a housing sidewall 14.
  • the housing floor 11 has basically the shape of an octagon so that the housing sidewall 14 has eight sections.
  • the inflator 25 extends through a central hole of the housing floor 11 and is attached to the same via a flange.
  • the housing 10 is open opposite the housing floor 11 such that it has a deployment opening 16.
  • At least a part of the airbag package 20 is located in the accommodation space defined by the housing 10 but a part of this airbag package 20 may extend through the deployment opening 16.
  • the cover 30 comprises a roof 32 and a cover sidewall 34 extending from said roof 32.
  • the roof 32 comprises a central part 32a extending over the deployment opening 16 and a projecting part 32b projecting from this central part 32a.
  • the cover sidewall extends from the roof 32 and basically follows the shape of the housing sidewall 14 such that it has eight sections in this embodiment.
  • the cover sidewall has a roof-side end and a floor-side end. In the representations of Figures 2 and 3 three of these sections are shown (reference numbers 44a, 44b and 44c). It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to cover sidewalls with an octagonal cross-section.
  • the cover sidewall could also have any another cross section, for example a rectangular or a circular cross section.
  • the cover can be a single-pieced injection-moulded part.
  • the cover 30 is attached to the housing 10, namely to the housing sidewall 14. This connection can be made in a manner that the cover cannot be pressed down relative to the housing or in a manner that the cover 30 can be pressed down against the housing 10 (as shown).
  • the housing sidewall 14 shows a number of attachment hooks 15 each extending through a window 35 in the cover sidewall 34.
  • At least some of the sections of the cover sidewall 34 have ribs in order to enhance the stiffness of the respective section of the cover sidewall. These ribs extend from a roof-side end to a roof-remote end. It is in most cases preferred that the ribs extend along the entire height of the cover sidewall, but this is not mandatory.
  • ribs 40 of a first kind or first kind or ribs 40.
  • the second section 44b of the cover sidewall carries such ribs 40 of the first kind and the design of these ribs 40 and the design of this section of the cover sidewall will now be explained in detail in view of Figures 3 to 5 .
  • the cover sidewall has a cover sidewall main portion 36 with an inner surface 36a and an outer surface 36b (see for example Figure 4 ).
  • the ribs 40 of the first kind each have two sections namely a roof proximal sections 40a protruding from the inner surface 36a of the cover sidewall main portion 36 and a roof distal section 40b protruding from the outer surface 36b of the cover sidewall main portion 36.
  • the roof proximal sections 40a of the ribs 40 the first kind are shown in dotted lines in Figure 3 .
  • the cover sidewall main portion 36 also has a roof proximal part 37a and roof distal part 37b.
  • the two parts 37a, 37b are not aligned, they are offset to one another (they are not located in the same geometrical plane).
  • the roof proximal part 37a of the cover sidewall main portion is (in radial direction) outward relative to the roof distal part 37b of the cover sidewall main portion. So, one could say that the ribs 40 of the first kind and the cover sidewall main portion 36 change their positions.
  • the overall thickness t of the respective sidewall section (here the second sidewall section 34b) remains constant along the height of the ribs - as can best be seen from Figure 4 - and does not need to exceed the overall thickness of a sidewall section with "traditional" ribs, such that this special design of the ribs 40 of the first kind does not lead to an additional demand of space.
  • the upper part of the respective side section of the sidewall (here the second section 34b) is free of visible ribs but still the lower portion of the respective sidewall section can fully abut to the respective section of the housing sidewall 14.
  • an inventive airbag module 5 comprises ribs of a first kind as just described as well as other kind of ribs, especially ribs 50 which exclusively extend from the outer surface of the cover sidewall main portion.
  • Figures 6 to 8 show the concept just described by means of a more detailed representation of an airbag module 5.
